Ferry Field

Ferry Field was a multi-purpose stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It opened in 1906 and was home to the Michigan Wolverines football team prior to the opening of Michigan Stadium in 1927. It had a capacity of 46,000. It is currently used as a tailgating space for football games. After football moved to Michigan Stadium, Ferry Field was converted to an outdoor track and field facility and was still used for this purpose until 2018. In 1935, Ohio State sprinter Jesse Owens set world records in the 220 yard dash, the 200 meter dash, the 220 yard low hurdles, the 200 meter low hurdles, and the long jump, and tied the world record in the 100 yard dash, all within a 45-minute timespan. A bronze plaque at Ferry Field commemorates Owens' historic feat. Development Michigan's football team became a major attraction after the success of coach Fielding H. Yost, and Regents Field with its 800-seat grandstand could not accommodate the paying crowds that sought to watch the team play. Michigan Athletic Director Charles A. Baird improved the university's athletic fields and "was responsible for the construction of Ferry Field to replace the outdated Regents Field." When Baird resigned as athletic director, one newspaper wrote: "Baird's greatest work for Michigan was planning and building Ferry field, which is the largest college athletic ground in the United States." In 1902, Detroit businessman Dexter M. Ferry purchased and donated 20 acres (81,000 m2) north of Regents Field for use in constructing a new athletic facility. Baird began by constructing new bleacher seating for 6,000 adjacent to the existing grandstand. One thousand circus seats were also installed. In November 1902, a Thanksgiving Day game against the University of Minnesota was held at Ferry Field with 10,000 spectators in attendance. By 1906, the new Ferry Field with seating for 18,000 spectators was opened. The facility included a brick wall and ornamental gate with ten ticket windows. The gateway was designed by Albert Kahn Architects of Detroit and constructed at a cost of over $10,000. In the 1890s, a $3.00 membership granted students admission to all athletic events. By 1904, a general admission ticket for a big game cost as much as $3.00. With a seating capacity of 18,000, Baird's athletic department could generate $50,000 in revenue from a single game. When Ferry Field was completed, Baird expressed his pride in the facility: Speaking of the field, Michigan today has the finest athletic grounds in the United States. With the completion of the operations we are making the total expenditure for permanent improvement of the field will cost $150,000. On it we have a gridiron for practice, another where the old field was, and the splendid new one, drained, leveled, sodded, surrounded by a concrete wall. The last football game at Ferry Field was played in November 1926. The following year, the Michigan football team moved to Michigan Stadium.

Finlandia University

Finlandia University var ett finskspråkigt universitet i Hancock, Michigan, grundat 1896. Fram till år 2000 hette det Suomi College (finska: Suomi Opisto). Universitet lades ned 2023. Suomi College grundades 1896 av Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (Suomi Synod) under ledning av Juho Kustaa Nikander. Inledningsvis utbildades främst lutheranska präster för Suomi Synod, och colleget hade som syfte att förvalta det finska språket och den finska kulturen. Med tiden övergick colleget från teologisk utbildning till utbildning i de fria konsterna. Prästutbildningen skildes från Suomi College 1958 och år 2000 bytte colleget namn till Finlandia University. Finlandia Universitys första byggnad (sedermera kallad Old Main) uppfördes 1898 och ritades av Charles Archibald Pearce. Huset uppfördes i sten i nyromansk stil. Huset innehöll klassrum, bibliotek, kapell, tvättstuga, sovsal, kök och vardagsrum. Invigningen ägde rum den 21 januari 1900, men redan 1901 ansågs lokalerna vara för små. En ny byggnad togs då i bruk och denna bestod fram till 1939, då Nikander Hall uppfördes i dess ställe. Old Main används sedan 2024 som museum, konstgalleri och kan hyras som festlokal av allmänheten. Nikander Hall ritades av Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen och J. R. F. Swanson. Utöver klassrum och bibliotek innehöll Nikander Hall ett auditorium och laboratorium. Referenser
FireKeepers Casino Hotel

FireKeepers Casino Hotel is a 236,000-square-foot (21,900 m2) casino and hotel in Emmett Charter Township, Michigan, between Battle Creek and Marshall. It is owned and operated by the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi. Construction began May 7, 2008, and the casino opened to the general public on August 5, 2009. Construction was a joint venture between Shingobee Builders and Clark Construction. The hotel and other additions opened in December 2012. Description The casino has 2,900 state-of-the-art slot machines, and 76 table games, including blackjack, roulette, craps, Big Six and baccarat. It has six restaurants, a sports bar and cabaret. The gaming floor occupies 107,000 square feet (9,900 m2), and there are 3,000 parking spaces, 2,080 of them in a covered garage. Interest in employment with FireKeepers remained high, with nearly 16,000 applications received in 2010. FireKeepers was developed by Gaming Entertainment Michigan (GEM), a joint venture of gaming operator Full House Resorts and real estate developer Robert Mathewson. From its opening, GEM signed an agreement to manage the casino through August 2016, receiving 26 percent of net income. The Nottawaseppi Huron Band bought out the agreement four years early for $97.5 million, and took over management in May 2012. The casino advertises via a huge electronic sign on the I-94 freeway, the heavily traveled corridor between Detroit and Chicago. The sign is 50 ft (15 m) tall by 30 ft (9.1 m) wide by 8 ft (2.4 m) deep, and the total structure weighs more than 10 short tons (9,100 kg). The electronic display unit on the sign is 15 ft (4.6 m) tall by 22 ft (6.7 m) wide. It is double sided (there is one unit on each side of the sign), and each side has 43,000 full-color pixels. The sign can display 281 trillion colors, significantly more than the human eye can distinguish. Content is sent via wireless broad band communication from the casino marketing office. The sign uses energy-saving LED technology, and the cost of its energy consumption will be about $17.59 per day. More than 47,000 vehicles travel pass the FireKeepers Casino location daily, and the sign is expected to be seen by more than 66,000 persons each day. The tribe expanded the complex in 2012, completing construction and opening an eight-story, 243-room hotel in December of that year. The expansion included: a new grand lobby featuring a symbolic light totem, porte cochere, an event center, new restaurant, and smoke-free gaming area. The tribe opened the Pit Stop gas station on the property in November of 2016, featuring sixteen fuel pumps, car wash, convenience store and five RV parking spots with electric hook-up. The tribe announced that FireKeepers Casino would sponsor the June 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway, now called the FireKeepers Casino 400.

Park Church (Grand Rapids, Michigan)

Park Church is a historic church at 10 E. Park Place, NE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. History The congregation that eventually became the Park Church was organized in 1836 as a Presbyterian congregation with twenty-two members. In 1839, the church reorganized as the First Congregational Church of Grand Rapids. In 1840, the congregation purchased a church building originally constructed in 1837 for the local Catholic parish, but which the parish had not been able to afford. By 1867, the congregation had outgrown this building, and they sold it in preparation for constructing a new church. They selected A. Barrows of Adrian, Michigan, about whom almost nothing is known, as the architect. Ground was broken in 1868, and the church was completed in 1869 at a cost of $75,000. A fellowship hall was added to the church in 1915, and the sanctuary was refinished in 1930 by Ralph Adams Cram. Description The Park Church is a white-yellow brick Gothic structure consisting of three sections: the original 1868-69 church, the 1915 Fellowship Hall, and a 1950 addition which wraps around the sanctuary's front and sides. The 1868-69 church is a stone-trimmed, brick structure measuring 132 by 70 feet. It has an asphalt roof, replacing the original slate one. A buttressed tower topped by an octagonal belfry is located at one corner. The belfry has louvered, pointed openings, and is topped by paneled parapets, replacing the original spire and pinnacles. The original church facade contained a Gothic portal flanked by secondary entrances, but these have been covered by the addition. The 1915 fellowship hall is a two-and-one-half-story, rectangular structure with a hip roof and a small corner tower. The 1950 narthex addition was designed to harmonize as much as possible with the historic structure. It is a single-story wraparound structure surrounding the front and sides of the 1868-69 church. The sanctuary also contains fourteen stained glass windows from the Tiffany Studios, which were installed between 1904 and 1938. References External links Official website
Park Church (Grand Rapids)

Park Church es una iglesia histórica en 10 E. Park Place, NE en la ciudad de Grand Rapids, en el estado de Míchigan (Estados Unidos). Se agregó al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1982.​ Historia La congregación que finalmente se convirtió en Park Church se organizó en 1836 como una congregación presbiteriana con veintidós miembros. En 1839, la iglesia se reorganizó como la Primera Iglesia Congregacional de Grand Rapids. En 1840, la congregación compró un edificio de iglesia construido originalmente en 1837 para la parroquia católica local, pero que la parroquia no había podido pagar. Para 1867, la congregación había superado este edificio y lo vendieron como preparación para construir una nueva iglesia. Seleccionaron a A. Barrows de Adrian, de quien casi nada se sabe, como arquitecto. La tierra se inició en 1868 y la iglesia se completó en 1869 a un costo de 75 000 dólares.​ En 1915 se añadió un salón de becas a la iglesia, y Ralph Adams Cram restauró el santuario en 1930.​ Descripción La Iglesia del Parque es una estructura gótica de ladrillo blanco y amarillo que consta de tres secciones: la iglesia original construida entre 1868 y 1869, el Fellowship Hall de 1915 y una adición de 1950 que envuelve el frente y los lados del santuario. La iglesia de 1869 es una estructura de ladrillo con adornos de piedra que mide 40 por 21 m. Tiene cubierta de asfalto, en sustitución de la original de pizarra. En uno de sus ángulos se ubica una torre atirantada rematada por una espadaña octogonal. El campanario tiene persianas, aberturas puntiagudas y está rematado por parapetos con paneles, que reemplazan la aguja y los pináculos originales. La fachada original de la iglesia contenía un portal gótico flanqueado por entradas secundarias, pero estas han sido cubiertas por la adición. El salón de becas de 1915 es una estructura rectangular de dos pisos y medio con un techo a cuatro aguas y una pequeña torre en la esquina. La adición del nártex de 1950 fue diseñada para armonizar lo más posible con la estructura histórica. Es una estructura envolvente de un solo piso que rodea el frente y los lados de la iglesia de 1869.​ El santuario también contiene catorce vidrieras de Tiffany Studios, que se instalaron entre 1904 y 1938.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Página web oficial
First Baptist Church (Detroit)

The former First Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church building located at 8601 Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Built in 1909, it was designed by architect Guy J. Vinton in the Late Gothic Revival style. It is now the Peoples Community Church. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1982. History The First Baptist Church of Detroit was founded on October 20, 1827. The first church constructed by the congregation, a small frame structure, was built at the corner of Fort and Griswold Streets in 1831. The frame structure was replaced with a spacious brick church in 1835. The congregation built larger structures in 1859-63 and 1871–75. As members of the congregation moved outwards from downtown Detroit, the church followed, and in 1909 the church hired Guy J. Vinton to design and construct this church on Woodward. However, after World War II, membership decreased, and in 1957 the congregation sold the building to the Peoples Community Church. The First Baptist congregation moved on to Southfield and constructed a new church in 1965. Description The former First Baptist Church of Detroit is a rockfaced, limestone, Gothic-style church measuring 120 feet long by 110 feet wide. The front facade has a massive, Gothic-arched traceried window balanced with a large square flat-roofed corner tower containing the entryway. An educational wing is adjacent to the tower of similar design to the main church. The exterior of the church is notable for its lack of ornamentation, relying on its massive proportions for visual impact. The interior of the church conforms to the Akron plan, with a large, square, barrel-vaulted central auditorium containing wooden pews arranged in a semi-circle. Notably, a broad, curving balcony panelled with a Gothic arch motif completely encompasses the auditorium. The portion of the balcony over the sanctuary contains the choir loft and organ pipes. The transepts on both the main floor and balcony level are constructed to be used as either classrooms or, by opening partitions, overflow seating space.

Primera Iglesia Bautista (Detroit)

La antigua Primera Iglesia Bautista es un edificio histórico de la iglesia bautista ubicado en 8601 Woodward Avenue en Detroit, la ciudad más grande del estado de Míchigan (Estados Unidos). Construido en 1909, fue diseñada por el arquitecto Guy J. Vinton en el estilo neogótico tardío. Ahora es la Iglesia de la Comunidad de los Pueblos. El edificio fue agregado al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos el 3 de agosto de 1982. Historia La Primera Iglesia Bautista de Detroit fue fundada el 20 de octubre de 1827.​ La primera iglesia construida por la congregación, una pequeña estructura de armazón, fue construida en la esquina de las calles Fort y Griswold en 1831.​ La estructura del marco fue reemplazada por una espaciosa iglesia de ladrillos en 1835. La congregación construyó estructuras más grandes entre 1859 y 1863 y entre 1871 y 1875. A medida que los miembros de la congregación se mudaron desde el centro de Detroit, la iglesia siguió, y en 1909 la iglesia contrató a Guy J. Vinton para diseñar y construir esta iglesia en la avenida Woodward.​ Sin embargo, después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la membresía disminuyó y en 1957 la congregación vendió el edificio a la Iglesia Peoples Community.​ La Primera Congregación Bautista se trasladó a Southfield y construyó una nueva iglesia en 1965.​ Descripción La antigua Primera Iglesia Bautista de Detroit es una iglesia de piedra caliza de estilo gótico con paredes de roca que mide 36 metros de largo por 33 de ancho. La fachada frontal tiene una enorme ventana trazada de arco gótico equilibrada con una gran torre de esquina cuadrada de techo plano que contiene la entrada. Un ala educativa está adyacente a la torre de diseño similar a la iglesia principal. El exterior de la iglesia es notable por su falta de ornamentación, confiando en sus proporciones masivas para el impacto visual.​ El interior de la iglesia se ajusta al plano de Akron, con un gran auditorio central cuadrado con bóveda de cañón que contiene bancos de madera dispuestos en semicírculo. Cabe destacar que un amplio balcón curvo revestido con un motivo de arco gótico rodea completamente el auditorio. La parte del balcón sobre el santuario contiene el coro y los tubos del órgano. Los transeptos tanto en el piso principal como en el nivel del balcón están construidos para ser utilizados como aulas o, al abrir particiones, como espacio para sentarse.​ Véase también Anexo:Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en Detroit Anexo:Edificios religiosos de la avenida Woodward Arquitectura de Detroit Historia de Detroit Referencias Otras lecturas Hill, Eric J. and John Gallagher (2002).

First Baptist Church (Lansing, Michigan)

First Baptist Church is a historic church at 227 N. Capitol Avenue in Lansing, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The congregation is now known as Christ Community Church of Greater Lansing. History Lansing's First Baptist Church was organized in 1851. The congregation constructed a frame church in 1857. By the late 1880s, the congregation was rapidly expanding, and a new structure was needed. In 1892, construction began on the present structure, located at the site of the original church. The architects for the project were Edwyn A. Bawd and Earl H. Mead. Construction was completed in 1894. Over the next decades, the church established nine different congregations in the Lansing area. However, like many mainline congregations in downtown areas, the First Baptist Church began a decline in membership starting in the mid 1960s. In 2005, the congregation changed its name to Christ Community Church, and continues to use the structure. Description The First Baptist Church consists of the 1892 church and an attached parish house, which was rehabilitated in 1955. The church is a steep-roof, Richardson Romanesque structure constructed of multi-colored local stone. The building has brick facings which line window and door openings. The front facade has a square tower at one corner, a smaller round tower at the other, and a low entry vestibule between. On the interior is an entry vestibule with oak wainscoting and a tin ceiling. Double doors open onto the sanctuary, which has a high ceiling with timber trusses and a rear gallery supported by iron columns with Corinthian capitals. The sanctuary contains three tiers of pews on a floor that slopes downward toward a chancel. All the sanctuary woodwork is of oak. References
